Dany’s journey into tourism wasn’t exactly planned—it was sparked by a spontaneous decision that changed everything. After years of working as an engineer, he felt the need for something different, though he wasn’t quite sure what that would be. Then, one day, Cristina was preparing for her final season as a guide in Santa’s homeland in Finland. As a joke, she asked if he’d like to come along. To everyone’s surprise—including his own—he said yes. And just like that, a new adventure began.

What started as a leap of faith soon became a true passion. Experiencing life as a guide opened Dany’s eyes to a world far beyond engineering—one filled with nature, people, and unforgettable experiences. From the frozen landscapes of Lapland to the rolling hills of Transylvania, he discovered that sharing stories, leading travelers, and exploring new places brought him far more joy than sitting behind a desk.

Since then, Dany has become a true pillar of Local Footsteps, bringing his fresh perspective, curiosity, and enthusiasm to every experience. Whether he’s leading a hike through the mountains he loves or guiding a tour through Romania’s hidden gems, he does it with an energy that’s truly contagious.

With an engineer’s precision and a traveler’s heart, Dany ensures that every journey isn’t just well-planned—it’s a meaningful adventure filled with connection, discovery, and a touch of spontaneity, just like the one that led him here.
